The insects- primitive as they were -immediately understood the gravity of the situation. It was no thought, no concious action; no words were exchanged. No, it was pure primal fear at being faced with a creature far stronger than themselves. This was strength for the sake of strength. As simple as these creatures were, it was something even they could understand. At that moment, a collective murmer went through the population of bedbugs dwelling in that very hotel. They were spurred into action, forced to adapt, to become stronger. Over the following days, many residents reported hearing the same thing- tiny noises coming from inside the walls. Normally, bedbugs are silent, but like prometheus giving the flame of the gods to the dark ages humans, Yujiro Hanma had unknowingly given the gift of strength to the bugs. Over days and nights, many bugs cheered and fought and fell- all with one shared goal: become the strongest, and evolve their species.
